  It earned Oscar nods, yet this cinematic look at a genius--that of English cellist Jacqueline du Pré, who enraptured audiences with her bold, emblazoned and wholly unconventional playing style, and who died at age 42--was criticised for its "lapses" in truth by people who purportedly knew du Pré. Some of the controversy revolved around the other main character in Anand Tuckers gorgeous, involving movie--du Prés sister, Hilary, whose book,A Genius in the Family (cowritten with brother Piers), dished some dirt on Jackies sleeping with Hilarys husband. But dont let that deter you from this ebullient movie experience. Hilary and Jackie is a bisected story (each sisters tale is told in the same amount of screen time) teeming with heartfelt drama that belies the cheap shots it received from its detractors. Its stirring, reckless, loving, involving, and rife with unconventional passion; passion for music, life, art, and the delicate relationship between these two synchronous, extraordinary sisters as played by brilliant actors Emily Watson and Rachel Griffiths (both of whom earned Oscar nods). Though Watson got the juicy, showy role as Jackie, its Griffiths who provides the heart, soul, and spine of the film. And director Tucker has that gift of being able to explain through the visual medium what is happening inside of his characters heads. Hes helped by a fine screenplay by Frank Boyce Cottrell. No matter what the truth of Hilary and Jackie might really be, this is an exceptional, rare film that is defined and graced by fine acting and writing. --Paula Nechak

TMNT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tech-industrialist Max Winters is amassing an army of ancient monsters to take over the world. Only one super-ninja fighting team can stop them - those heroes in a half shell; Leonardo Michelangelo Donatello and Raphael! With the help of their rat sensei Master Splinter and old allies April O'Neil and Casey Jones the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are in for the fight of their lives in this all new CG-animated action adventure movie. The Ant Bully: Misfit Lucas (Zach Taylor Eisen) doesn't have any friends and suffers daily at the hands of the neighborhood bully. Lucas's mother (Cheri Oterie) might call her 10-year-old Peanut but to the ants inhabiting the colony in his front yard Lucas is the Destroyer. Lonely and frustrated by his small stature Lucas repeatedly takes his aggressions out on the colony leaving the ants running for their lives. Tired of the unprovoked attacks Zok (Nicolas Cage) an ant wizard devises a potion that will shrink the Destroyer down to their size so that he can stand trial for his actions. Soon Lucas is ant-sized and sentenced to live among the ants where he has to learn their ways in order to earn his freedom. Zok's ever cheerful girlfriend Hova (Julia Roberts) becomes Lucas's mentor teaching him the ways of the ant world and helping him gain a whole new perspective. He begins to understand the meaning of teamwork and how working with others can help an individual accomplish great things. He also learns that danger lurks everywhere for an ant: killer wasps hungry frogs even sunlight reflected off a mirror can mean certain death. Even worse before being shrunk Lucas was tricked into signing a contract with a slimy exterminator Stan Beals (Paul Giamatti) who will soon be returning to destroy the colony unless Lucas can find a way to stop him. An amusing smart script and likeable characters are hallmarks of this pleasant romp through a secret underground world.
